Homemade Chili Seasoning Mix is so easy. Two tablespoons equal one of those packets you buyat the store. Use it in chilies, tacos, casseroles, bean patty mixes, and more!
I can't remember when there weren't those little packets 'for seasoning everything you can think of' in the grocery store.
I do know there didn't used to be so many of them though.
For sure, I think the first was that little box that holds two packets of onion soup mix.
People didn't buy it for onion soup. They bought it for onion dip.
That was a prerequisite for every single party back then - for everyone. It is still packaged the same today.
Somewhere out there, in geniusland, a wise person thought about making an assorted variety of packets for multiple dishes. The first one was probably for chili and probably by Lawry's.
I’ve tried replacing 1tbsp chili powder with 1 tbsp of chalked ancho chillies (single measure recipe) and it adds a nice smoky hint to the mix.
Chill/tacos taste fantastic and I also add it to pasta sauce and casseroles.
Fantastic!

This is great!!! I have celiacs and must avoid wheat. Most prepackaged chili seasoning mixes contain wheat. This flavored a family Sunday lunch that everyone enjoyed. The blend of seasonings was just perfect. No worries for me.

Chili is rich, deep and often spicy, so adding a sweet ingredient is a great way to create balanced flavor. We've found that adding diced carrots is the easiest way to add natural sweetness, but you can also use vegetables like sweet potatoes or winter squash.
Exported to almost every part of the world, Guntur chilli powder is famous as the best red chilli powder in India. Originating in Andhra Pradesh and famous for its remarkable use in Andhra cuisine, Guntur chilli is best used in Indian curry preparations.
Chili cooks low and slow, so you need enough liquid to tenderize the meat and keep everything from drying out. That liquid should also add flavor to the chili, so use chicken, beef, or vegetable stock, or beer.
Good news, it's easier than you think to perk up your pot of chili. All it takes is a splash of vinegar, which I bet you already have in the pantry. Stirred into the pot right before serving, a spoonful of vinegar brightens up the finished product, and gives it that full, rounded taste that was missing.
If there's not enough salt it will taste flat. Or maybe more chili powder. I little Cayenne is always good unless you are feeding children or very sensitive people. If people like it spicy, you can add hot sauce or hotter chile powder, like New Mexico, for example.
